Credit card surcharge

You get charged an additional 2% credit card fee, which is a bit rich given how much our car hire has come up to. And there are no options to pay by Paypal, which is a cheaper and more secure way of paying.

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your concerns regarding the 2% credit card fee and the lack of PayPal payment options.

We have to implement the credit card fee to cover the costs associated with processing transactions, but we appreciate your feedback and will consider it as we review our payment policies. We strive to offer various payment methods to suit our customers' preferences and security needs, and your suggestion about PayPal is valuable to us.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact us directly. We appreciate your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again.

Best regards,

Form not working and nobody to ask

I filled in the section: "other countries and comments/request". I wrote down the countries and asked that that my wife be second driver. However, I could not proceed with payment. I tried to call the number for enquiries and waited for a long time, but nobody picked up.
In the end, I deleted the 2nd driver and resubmitted everything again. It worked out but I feel bad that my wife is now not a driver as well.
